      </p>
<p>
        The expressions presented so far are sufficiently powerful to construct quite
        elaborate structures. We have presented lazy-functions and lazy-operators.
        How about lazy-statements? First, an appetizer:
      </p>
<p>
        Print all odd-numbered contents of an STL container using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">for_each</span></code>
        (<a href="../../../../example/all_odds.cpp" target="_top">all_odds.cpp</a>):
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">for_each</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">begin</span><span class="special">(),</span> <span class="identifier">c</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">end</span><span class="special">(),</span>
    <span class="identifier">if_</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">arg1</span> <span class="special">%</span> <span class="number">2</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)</span>
    <span class="special">[</span>
        <span class="identifier">cout</span> <span class="special">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="identifier">arg1</span> <span class="special">&lt;&lt;</span> <span class="char">' '</span>
    <span class="special">]</span>
<span class="special">);</span>
</pre>
<p>
        Huh? Is that valid C++? Read on...
      </p>
<p>
        Yes, it is valid C++. The sample code above is as close as you can get to
        the syntax of C++. This stylized C++ syntax differs from actual C++ code.
        First, the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">if</span></code> has a trailing
        underscore. Second, the block uses square brackets instead of the familiar
        curly braces {}.

          attempts to mimic EBNF in C++, Phoenix attempts to mimic C++ in C++!!!

          Unlike lazy functions and lazy operators, lazy statements always return
          void.

        Here are more examples with annotations. The code almost speaks for itself.
